In Reply to: Explain a WAV pedal........... - magnolia
The term "WAV pedal" has become a generic term. The software that you use will determine the file type(s) that you are able to play on your computer. You use either a pedal or hot keys (Fkeys) to control that playback. As stated below, Express Scribe is one such software program and it is free. It can be found by clicking on the link below.

Do you have a wav player and pedal to play the files?

You will need wav player software on your PC for your pedal to play
files. You can download Express Scribe for free and it works really well. Then you will need your clients to use digital recorders to record their dictation. The dictation can then be saved to a jump drive, disk, etc. or uploaded to an FTP site that you maintain and you will then be able to download the files from the FTP site to your PC and transcribe them.
Looking for Software to Organize Digital Voice Files
Anyone know of good software that can take my digital voice files and organize them so I can keep track of which worker is working on which doctor, keep an eye on turnaround time, etc. -- instead of making endless folders on the computer myself. Voice files are separate from the typed reports, which are done in Word. Thank you.

Playback Software
Getting my terms straight here I did my research and the software used to 'play' the dictation is called Professional Digital Transcription Playback Software - DTPS.
The few I've worked with always have that annoying feature where you can't modify the voice speed. Are they all like that?
I'm just wondering what the PDTPS is like at a company I've applied for. BTW - I made up that abbreviation - may not be accurate!
Right now I'm on C-phone. I'm okay with a C-phone. I'm not real keen on the sound quality experience I've had with playback software. Can you not slow them down?
Thanks for letting me pick your brain!!!
playback software
I used Bytescribe, but there is a free one out there called Express Scribe. I am not sure how good it is though.
Need Express Scribe help with foot pedal controls
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. I have express scribe and a USB infinity foot pedal. The foot pedal controls on express scribe do not let you set the foot pedal to back up a few seconds. When you lift your foot off the pedal, that is exactly where it starts again when you push back down on it. I want it to back up a few seconds so I can listen to something again, but I cannot see anywhere that it lets you adjust it to that. I don't want to have to rewind it all the time. Please help thank you 
Under Playback, my pedal is on 300 and 100..sm
for both rewind and forward. You might have to UNclick the Quick tap on play..box that's under the Control tab and see if that helps, too. nm
Need some help with pedal playback function!
Ack! I am using Audioworx and wanted to make my pedal back up a couple seconds everytime I lift it and press it back down. I changed the Auto Backspace amount and now it keeps going back to the beginning of the audio file. Even when I set the amount to 0, it goes back to the beginning. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
Filezilla is the software used to transfer files to an FTP server where the files "reside".

Converting voice files to digital files
I have a Voice Solutions dictation system that will happily convert DS4000 voice files to digital when they are downloaded (wave files). However, it will not recognize any other files for conversion. I had a physician download .WAM files from his DS-30 and my dictation system would not convert it. Anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate any input.
Thanks!!!
check mark by advanced controls, WAVE and MIDI controls come up --nm

can't play voice file
I was sent a voice file to transcribe (test) and I can play it but not at the same time that I am in MS Word. What am I doing wrong?  TIA
What are you using to play the files? sm
There might be a setting to select the foot pedal and/or the type of files.
yes. they are used to play wav files on your --sm
digital wav player, so they can be called wav pedals too. Although some programs require a specific type of pedal because of the way they are wired. USB port is pretty universal and the simplest, but some programs like the serial port ones so it is wired as to left pedal, right pedal, fast forward, reverse, etc. but they are essentially the same thing.
DSS files won't play
I am totally new to the at home transcription profession. I found someone to type for but when she sent me the file, .dss, it didn't play on Express Scribe. Now, I have been on their forums and tried ALL of the suggestions and nothing worked. Apparently it has something to do with the way the new version of ES interacts with XP or something. So I found a DSS Player Lite at Olympus and it played the file, but ofcourse there wasn't any foot controls or speed, et cetera. I was just wondering if there are possibly other, preferablly free or cheap, software programs that I can use to play these DSS files. I have another person I will be transcribing for as well but I guess she uses a different file format so I am hoping that it will play with ES. I am just so frustrated and don't know what to do to get started making some money. Can anybody help me??
Thanks!!
It should play .sri files. Have you tried doing this??? sm
Go into settings, then file types, and put a mark next to .sri files.
Give that a try and let me know if it works. HTH!
Can I play files dictated in DVI on my PC?
I was recently approached by a local doctor and asked if I would like to type for them. The doctor's office uses a DVI system but they did not know anything else including what equipment I would need to play the files. I was wondering if I could purchase software that would alow me to dial into their DVI system with my computer instead of using a separate DVI machine.
Thanks,
Mariah
what software are U using to play
the wav file? You should just be able to save to your desktop and open your software and then in your software, go to where U saved the wav file and dbl click to open it. At that point, you can step on your foodpedal and it will play
You can buy just the Start/Stop software w/o the pedal if you're able to use your pedal as a VEC
s
Bytescribe wavplayer will play DSS files.
Express Scribe will not play .sri files......anyone else
nm
Bytescribe .wavplayer will play the DSS files from Olympus.
What type of file does your software play?
Maybe you can try a CD (mp3) format or rip a CD into a format that your software does play.
Try this link for a sample voice file or Google the phrase sample voice file
http://www.bytescribe.com/speech_recognition/index.htm
Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm
because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website). Can you play any other types of files?
voice files
Yes, mine are emailed too. They are usually .dvf or .wav files.. Call GearPlayer from that website I posted and ask if this is compatible for you. If so then purchase it and call them back to be walked through downloading to your computer (I download to a folder named "Work to be Typed" by "Saving Target As." )
Voice Files
I tried that. They won't drag into the box.

That worked. Thanks so much!
voice files query...
Good day everybody...I am on a rush and interested on buying a set of classified voice files, all body system for practice transcription but I can not find sites where to buy them. I will appreciate it a lot if somebody could give me at least an idea where to find the complete set of course on a cheaper price. Thanks very much.
Why would you e-mail voice files to yourself. You'd have to have them
on your computer to do that and if you have that why e-mail them. Unless you have encrpyted e-mail it would be a big no no as far as HIPAA.
PDA use for voice files over internet?
A chiropractor called me today to see if I could transcribe his reports using a PDA with voice files over the internet. I told him that I am sure I could accommodate him but that I was unfamiliar with that process and would have get back to him within the week, yet now I am at a loss at what to do. What program do I use? Can it work along with my microcassette transcriber/pedals, which I use for other chiropractors and PT’s. I
If anyone is familiar or can point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful.
TIA~
Need help with static in voice files
Please help!!!
I am given .wav files, through a VPN connection, from a hospital that uses DVI/Fusion. I have an enormous amount of static on the files and it seems that no matter what I do, nothing helps. I have even been able to let the gal at the hospital listen over the phone to what I am dealing with and she says that her files sound nothing like what I am getting. I am assuming it has something to do with Fusion and I have called Dolbey numerous times to try to get them to help to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
FYI: I have tried playing the files through 4 different software programs and always get the same static.
Thanks much for trying!
Trying to load voice files, anyone?
Wanting to go to work for a new company. What I am getting is - voice files failed to load- object does not support this method.
I would like to know- has anyone experienced something similar and if so any suggestions? Thought maybe too much on my computer or ?? Thanks so much.
converting voice files
Thanks for the input. I will definetely look that up on the net. I just hope it does the same thing for my voice files as it did for your MP3 files.
Voice files & access to VPN sm
I use a DVI system for the voice files and connect to a VPN to transcribe, and I am using just the mobile broadband connection. I applied to a couple of companies that said the connection would not be compatible, although I'm not sure why. My main issue is that I need to get a unidirectional antenna put up as my omnidirectional one tends to get fluctuating signals. As far as usage, I haven't really tracked work only or surfing only, but I would estimate no more than 1.5-2 GB of usage per month is strictly work-related. If anyone wants the name of the company I went through for my equipment, it is 3gstore.com. Excellent customer service, even if all you do is ask a question and not buy anything. They even answered some tech questions for me a couple of weeks ago, more than a year after I bought my stuff.
Best way to send voice files
I need to get some help. What is the best way to send voice files to other MTs, and then they send me their completed reports? I am relatively computer dumb and need some advice and help. What is the most secure, economical way? I notice that Express Scribe/Dictate has FTP...but actually all that stuff confuse me...
Can anyone explain it to me in really simple language? I know all the big medical terms but computer stuff just terrifies me but I have to get some help....

Can you download Express Scribe and see if you can get your pedal to play through that? nm

...enable foot control with your pedal. Play

for voice files on computer, try plugging
your headset directly into the computer where the speakers normally go and see if that helps. Also, you can get a volume amplifier for this. It sure helped me.
Have you considered editing voice rec files?
Fewer Keystrokes and easier on your hands. Might be a way to stay in the field.
If you already have Bytescribe, he can email the voice files to you now.
Bytescribe plays dss files. very easy to do!. good luck.
The doctors email me the voice files
Do you know if gear player will work with dss voice files that are emailed to me? thanks
Will you be accessing the voice files via a Cphone, too?

Can I d/l voice files from Filezilla to my Cdrive?

how do the docs send the voice files to you
do they use a dropbox and then drag the files to it from a file on their pc or something like that. Our docs use Olympus recorders and now when they are done recording they just put their recorders in docking station and somehow the files are emailed directly to us, so am wondering how they would do it using this filesanywhere?? They do not like too many extra steps of course!
